Monday Night Soccer At Central Connecticut

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's soccer team takes a break from Ivy League play on Monday and travels to Central Connecticut. Kickoff in New Britain is slated for 7 p.m.

Here are storylines for the game:

• Melissa Gavin has scored a goal in three of Yale's last four games. Her seven goals and 16 points both lead the Ivy League.

• Freshman Geneva Decker was back in the Yale lineup on Saturday after missing four games with an injury. Decker, who has three goals on the season, created a couple of scoring chances in the game with the Crimson.

• After taking a two-year break, Yale and Central Connecticut resumed their rivalry last year. Juliann Jeffrey set up the only goal of the game as the Bulldogs blanked the Blue Devils 1-0. Yale is 14-0 all-time against Central, but the last four have all been one-goal wins.
